Alpine to Rockford Fosgate

[Seven71ne 10+ year member]

how much of a difference do you guys think i would see going from my two Old Alpine Type E's 12" to new two Rockford Fosgate P2 12"

i just bought a new 500.1 Rockford Fosgate Prime and i must say, im really satisfied.

The alpine type E's are not in the spec area they should be in (they should be in a sealed box, and all that, i have them in ported)

Will i blow the P2's i if i run that 500.1 to them? ( i doubt i would but i wanna make sure )

These p2 subs will be coming with a rockford fosgate box that is tuned to what exactly the p2 is set for.

Orrr would it be good to buy the prime series subwoofers?

The 500.1 should be a perfect match for 2 P2's. Just make sure the box is wired for 2ohm. Not sure how much of a difference you will hear as I have no experience with either speaker.

Your new system will probably be fairly loud, while giving away some accuracy. Usually, the prefabs are like that, it makes them stand out on the sales floor. If thats what you wanted, then you are good to go. They will handle that alpine amp pretty good I'm sure.

Your P2's should be just fine with that amp wired at 2 ohms (if your subs are dual 4's). They should do just fine...

see i dont have them yet, im contiplating on buy 2 of them (dvc 4 ohm) for like 250 with a nice RF prefab

i know rf has punch and power but what is prime?

 

[98AckCL23 10+ year member]

Prime is rf's new line. I guess it's supposed to be more entry level than the punch series...

OP, i dunno about the prefab... If you have the resources to build a box, I'd do that... Enough people can design them for free (or really cheap) and it'll be better than the prefab....

when you figure out how to wire 2 dual 4's to a 2ohm load that sends power to all the vc's I will paypal you $100

lol id take you up on that offer, but i unfortunately have no idea about that kind of stuff, i just use the woofer wiring wizard thing RF has. I'm excellent with series, but i struggle with parallel.

And what do you mean, Enough people can make them for free? Id like to see this for sure!

you still don't have A 2 ohm load.. you have multiple..

wire 2 voice coils in parallel and leave the other 2 voice coils alone. I win 100$? 2 Ohms load with 2 4ohm DVC.
